I haven't had extensive dealings with Gerald Myers, and I hardly know him on a personal level. But Texas Tech's athletic director has always been friendly and accessible, and as far as I can tell, he's always answered my questions honestly and thoughtfully.
I've also found Myers to be fairly jovial, and he was in an especially good mood during a visit to The Avalanche-Journal newsroom on Thursday afternoon. He seemed rather care free, like a tremendous weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
